Pros and cons of Geo Planimeter - Area & Distance Calculator app for iPhone and iPad

Geo Planimeter - Area & Distance Calculator app good for

Useful tool once you have discovered to tip the screen twice for determing cross points.

Its so simple to use and u can measur any distance from the smalist street any where in the world to biggest country in the world.! Good job

This is a great app, has always worked perfectly for me. I dont understand the other review - seems meanspirited, or maybe representing a competitor? Ive tried other apps but their input method for plotting the course isnt as fast. And I miss why not having sat view is a big deal, unless your trying to measure something in the country away from all roads or paths otherwise shown on Google Maps. I think this app is just right for most purposes anywhere near civilization.

Nice clean up-to-date interface. Useful tool that google always seemed to lack. I dont know how accurate it is but it works for estimates. Zoom feature isnt as smooth as it could be. They should make it like google/apple maps - double click to zoom, hold to drop waypoint. Also, kind of annoying how the screen centers on the dropped waypoint. Makes it hard to make a path quickly.

Some bad moments

Good app for calculating the distance of a particular route. However, it lacks the function of saving your routes for future reference. The app could use an undo button (not just a clear all button) as well. I would rate 5 stars if it had these 2 features.

Not only is it difficult to navigate the app between where to touch, drag, double tap, etc., the app doesnt even work. When I try to measure a distance, it gets stuck and wont calculate and further.

After marking out area doesnt show what the square footage is.
